Stanley's death emauates from a mis-
sionary at Matadi who received il from
native from up the country. No direct
message has been received from the expe-
dition and the rumoT is discredited at
London and Brus els.

The Mexican Pensioners.

The pension bureau is in daily receipt OF

under the Mexican pension act Of January
20, 1857, asking why payment does not
date from the date Of the passage OF the
act. AS general answer TO these in
quries, the commissioner desires 1T
stated that by the terms of the la wv pay
ment can be made only from January %
1857, where the pensioner reached the age
OF GO years on or prior to that date, and
when the pensioner reached the ago of &c
years subsequent 10 that date, payment
will he made from that date and not from
the date of the passage of the act. Thus,
if pen sioner was 90 years old on March I,
1885, he will be paid from January %, 1877;
If he was 62 years of age on March |, 1887
he will be paid from that date This Of
course, does not apply TO applicants for
